Eh it's mainly the upper end of the square that thinks like this.

If a house is 4 million dollars and you work as an uber driver or cashier you may have a different opinion that everything is good. All this current world order has done is monetize everything with debt, a big wall of debt that bids up the price of inelastic goods, as the rich borrow as much as possible to write off their cheap debt using their inflated collateral while never liquidating a penny of their assets.
Then when their mansion burns down due to building in a risky area or the bank that lends all this debt overextends then the government bails them out, as peoples paychecks are inflated away and they are denied pay raises due to the bad economy.
But I'm one of these smooth brains.
ah, exactly what i missed from reddit: ableist wojak PCM nonsense. lovely.
Very first reaction I had and thankful I wasn't the only one…
Whats pcm?
Political Compass Memes, it was a subreddit that sucked.
Specifically because it's absolutely infested with Nazis.
There was a short time it wasn't, and it was pretty hilarious ngl, but you have to have that kind of humor.
Yeah, it's a perfect example of the allegory of the Nazi bar.
I hadn't seen this specific story, it's very accurate from what I've seen over the years.
4chan, basically any online game chat room, blizzard in particular holy shit, I remember playing SC1 and WC3 online and for the most part everyone was normal, go to any Blizz game public chat now and it's full of trump/nazi spammers. Crazy.
Something I've been thinking about since watching the comedian part of the Trumps rally right before he got elected the 2nd time.... The jokes made me laugh, but not in a "haha he's so right! Puerto Ricans are trash!" it was in a "wow! anyone who believes that is such an idiot!" similarly I very much enjoy edgy humor like Southpark or a smaller project like DBZ Abridged, TO ME the joke is in the ridiculousness that anyone would say/act/behave that way, but it absolutely invites in the people who unironically agree with it.
It's unfortunate to say the least.
Which is unfortunate, because using 2 dimensions to describe political ideology is much more informative than using just one (left VS right).
